2020 BMW X3: Changes, Equipment, Price

If the luxury, compact crossover is on your shopping list,
the 2020 BMW X3 should deficiently be considered. The responsive and sharp
performance model provides also great interior room and cargo capacity. There
is also a long list of standard features as well as personalization options.
The turbocharged engines provide immersive performance while being
fuel-efficient as well. The X3 gets also attention with its handsome
appearance.

The model was all-new for the 2018 version but BMW continued with annual upgrades. For the 2020 model year, the things will remain pretty much the same for the already available versions. However, the new model year will bring another M-badged version with a high-potent inline-6 engine and available Competition pack. The new version gets also special exterior and interior treatment and has also experienced some chassis and suspension tuning.

2020 BMW X3: Design

The 2020 BMW X3 will continue with the same styling theme
applied for the recent redesign. The X3 is a familiar BMW’s approach with
styling present on the other models in the range.

The BMW has the newest version of the “split kidney” grille
and modern LED headlights. The front bumper has a sporty flair with wide
intakes and sharp character line gives it more personality. The rear is defined
with big taillights and nicely fitted rear bumper.

The new M-badged version gets a more aggressive approach and
comes with unique styling elements. The grille is a blacked-out version and
combined with bigger bumper vents. The M version sits also lower to the ground
and has a sporty diffuser, unique wheels and quad exhaust pipes. The version
rides on nice-looking 20-inch wheels and Competition package switches to 21-inch
units.

Interior, Equipment:

The interior of the model will remain a familiar form. There
will be plenty of space for all passengers and up to 62.7 cubic feet of the
cargo space. The model has also well-arranged and instantly recognizable
controls.

The M version will use leather-treated sport bucket seats and aluminum trim. The Competition package will add premium leather upholstery in different shades. It will also include a unique gauge cluster, Wi-Fi, navigation, shift indicator, etc.

2020 BMW X3: Performance

On the performance front, the 2020 BMW X3 will start with a
2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The entry-level engine makes 248
hp and torque of 258 pound-feet. There will be both two- and all-wheel drive
with this engine and mandatory 8-speed automatic transmission. With the power on two wheels, the X3 will
provide 23 mpg city and 30 highways. The all-wheel drive will earn 22 mpg city
and 29 mpg highways.

The newly added X3 M model has a 3.0-liter inline-six
turbocharged unit under the hood. The engine is tuned to deliver 473 hp and
torque of 442 pound-feet. The Competition package improves to 503 hp. BMW
